You hesitantly tapped the glass window but she did not budge. She had been on the fire escape for a while and all your attempts to get her to come back inside where to no avail. You wanted to go out and hug her, comfort her, be there for her but she would most likely just push you away, convinced she was okay. You knew better. People constantly told you that Scarlet Witch just wanted to be alone, that she was a strict, stern manipulative woman. They did not know her like you did. You knew her as Wanda Maximoff; a caring, simple girl who was confused, who had things and people she loved taken from her, who just wanted to know where she could belong.
"Wanda please..." you spoke softly afraid that anything could trigger had not heard a word from her since she came back from work. You assumed it had something to do with a mission she went on. You wanted to know what happened, you wanted to be there for her.
"Y/N. I just..." you heard her say. She could not seem to decide on what to say and you took that as an invitation to go out and sit beside her. She smelled like smoke so you assumed her problems were really stressing her out. Realizing this, you decided to try and to give her your cheekiest cheesiest jokes.
"You want to know what the best thing in my life is; its the first word of this sentence."
Wanda looked at you with a raised eyebrow. And you smiled.
"Are you a camera? Because every time I look at you, I smile." you added. Wanda's facial expression was unreadable but she wasn't pushing you away or asking you to stop. She just seemed confused.
"It is not my fault I fell in love; you tripped me."
"On a scale on 1 to 10; you're a 9 and I am the 1 you need."
You were about to say another one but you heard a slight giggle. You looked at Wanda and saw her frown fade ever so slightly. She avoided your stare and looked down at her hands.
"Why are you doing this? You sound like an idiot." You noticed her nag you but you knew this was the first step to helping her.
"Yes, I am an idiot. But I'm your idiot." you agreed as you moved up closer to her and kissed her forehead. "I know it must be hard to entrust someone with your feelings and troubles. I can't promise I can fix all your problems but I can promise you that you do not have to face your problems alone anymore."
"How will you do that?" She said softly as she leaned to rest her head on your shoulder.
You smiled brightly. "I will keep making you laugh! Now let's see-Oh! Does your left eye hurt? Because you've been looking right all day. Hmm, oh! For a moment I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Now I see that I am very much alive, and heaven has been brought to me."
Wanda sat up and looked at you trying her hardest not to crack up. She may not be ready to tell you her problems yet but you were glad you could make her smile.
"You're really something Y/N."
"And I love you too, Maximoff."
